Well, I started my Gaia adventure on Aug 27th, 2007. I was just 13 at the time. I was fairly active for a long time, up until about a few years ago. I quit, at that point, for a very long time. I came back today, and was struck by many memories. I started this in my teenage years, but I'm now a man. Things have changed now; I have changed. Gaia was a huge part of my life, I made some pretty good friends on here. I'm grown up now though. I have a place now, a full time job, and I'm a father of a beautiful little girl as of September 2014. My life may not have gone as planned, but part of growing up is realizing that things won't happen like a fairy tale. I've fallen in and out of love many of times with people I thought I would spend my life with. I've watched my dreams crumble in front of me, friends abandon me...But, as people, we got to take what we are given and make the perfection we yearn for. Eventually, though, our monuments we build from the hand we were dealt will be burnt down and destroyed by reality...but we grow from it...

It'll be a lie if I were to say I'd never return to gaia, but I know I won't be back for another little while. To everyone, I hope you the best, and send me a PM if you still want to keep in touch.
